Neither of these two solutions would work well, nor would "upload pngs".
On further thought, I recommend a new namespace, TeX, and that the tex source for an equation goes in it's own entry; every time the TeX is updated, a new png is generated, and the old png discarded, but the old TeX is kept, same as how old versions of articles are kept.
This scheme is comparitavely easy to code because it is an add-on instead of involving changes to the parser itself, and it reduces cpu load. Running TeX for every page with an equation on it could bring the server to it's knees.
It would be nice if the resulting png could be made a link to the original TeX, so one could edit that directly.
